January 21 is heikstheo's 45th birthday. He has been a great friend to me in some very difficult times, and he is a good, kind, generous and intelligent person. He hasn't been posting here very much lately, but those who have been on the site for a while know who he is. Happy birthday, heikstheo!

Hi, Force! Thanks for wishing me a Happy Birthday! My reason for not posting much anymore is that, when on my home computer, I try to get onto politicalforum.com via the weblink on one of those "so and so responded to a thread you subscribed to" emails, but the durn thing just times out on me; however, the library computer does allow me access to politicalforum.com. Not sure what this means. Anyhoo, I consider you a very dear friend, you are very knowledgeable about economics and politics, and I hope all goes well with you.
